Creator's Key Takeaways

you do not want to have your first or second day of your cruise be a day of sunburn and then that ruins everything right

when we went to Mexico the mosquitoes were trying to eat Us Alive um and so having mosquito spray is always handy

make sure you bring your room key and photo ID I would recommend you not taking your passport off of the ship leave your passport in the safe in your cabin room

don't forget before you get off the ship to ask a crew member or read a sign check the app to see what time your cruise ship is leaving

Forgetting the ship's departure time and missing the boat — Ask a crew member, check a sign, or use the app to know the departure time; aim to return at least an hour early
Getting sunburned on the first days of the cruise — Use a wide-brim hat and sunscreen no matter the destination or weather
